I believe in human beings, and that all human beings should be respected as such, regardless of their color.
Speaking like this doesn't mean that we're anti-white, but it does mean we're anti-exploitation, we're anti-degradation, we're anti-oppression.
Without education, you're not going anywhere in this world.
he full contents of the letter — dated Jan. 25, 2011 — have been posted, and there’s a lot more to Ray Wood’s story.
He says he worked under the NYPD’s BOSSI investigative unit from 1964 to 1971, and that the work he was made to do on their behalf was done under duress and fear inflicted by his superiors. Wood says his job was to infiltrate civil rights orgs throughout NYC, and to find evidence of criminal activity so that the FBI could “discredit and arrest its leaders.”
[...]
There’s also this … Wood claims that he was ordered to be at the Audubon on Feb. 21, where he says he was ID’d by witnesses while fleeing. He claims Thomas (15X) Johnson was later arrested and wrongfully convicted in connection to Malcolm’s killing … to protect his own cover and the “secrets of the FBI and NYPD.”
Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance said last year that his office would reopen the case to investigate the long-held contentions by some historians and scholars that the wrong suspects were arrested for the slaying.
In the wake of the letter, Vance’s office released a statement saying its “review of this matter is active and ongoing.”
The NYPD said it is cooperating with the prosecutor’s effort.
Coleman claimed the band’s success really took off with help from the Tavistock Institute For Human Relations – a British organisation which studies group behaviour, but which conspiracy theorists believe had a hidden agenda to engineer the world's culture.
Theorists believe The Beatles cracking the US market was aided by the Illuminati with the intention of “'taking control of education in America with the intent and purpose of utterly and completely destroying it.”
Coleman claimed the masterminds of the plot planned to use “rock music and drugs to rebel against the status quo, thus undermining and eventually destroying the family unit.”
Other online theorists have built on the theme, using pictures of the Fab Four and lyrics to prove links to occult.
On February 21, 1965, minister and civil rights activist Malcolm X, 39, was shot dead inside Harlem’s Audubon Ballroom in New York by assassins identified as members of the Nation of Islam. Three men were convicted of murder and imprisoned, and all were eventually paroled.
“I participated in actions that in hindsight were deplorable and detrimental to the advancement of my own Black people. My actions on behalf of the New York City Police Department were done under duress and fear,” said Reggie Wood, a relative who read Raymond’s letter aloud at a press conference on Saturday.
The letter said the arrests carried out in February 1965 by Wood meant Malcolm X did not have security at the entrance to the Audubon Ballroom where he was speaking that day.
In the words of the great James Baldwin, “As concerns Malcolm and Martin, I watched two men, coming from unimaginably different backgrounds, whose positions, originally, were poles apart, driven closer and closer together. By the time each died, their positions had become virtually the same position. It can be said, indeed, that Martin picked up Malcolm’s burden, articulated the vision which Malcolm had begun to see, and for which he paid with his life. And that Malcolm was one of the people Martin saw on the mountaintop.”

I don't think he ever admitted direct involvement just that his rhetoric at the time against Malcolm led to his death.
